Year 10 Revision Guides

2015-16

This booklet is available in electronic form on the school

website (www.gordanoschool.org.uk/parents/letters-to-

parents/)

Purchase of Revision Guides

One very useful way that students can be supported in preparation for their GCSE exams

involves the purchase of revision guides. As a school we want to make this as easy and

economical for parents as possible. This booklet includes a list of the revision guides

recommended by subjects, together with any notes to help you buy the right ones. For

all books we have included the ISBN number of the book so that you can make sure

you’re buying the right guide, as well as a link to the appropriate ‘Amazon’ page and a

thumbnail image of the book. However, for our two largest suppliers, CGP and Collins,

we are able to benefit from a schools discount in the following ways:

For CGP books, parents need to complete the separate order form – this only

includes the relevant guides that the school are recommending. Parents should

complete the form, adding up the total cost of the books ordered plus a £1

processing cost. This can be returned by email to finance@gordanoschool.org.uk

OR hard copy to the Finance Office at school. The deadline for complete forms is

Friday 26th February, with payment required by Friday 4th March. The total cost of

the order will be added to the ParentPay system and you will be notified by email

that this has taken place. You will be able to complete this order form on the Year

10 Progress Evening on Thursday 25th February.

Once payment is completed the order will be processed and the books will arrive,

packaged together, for distribution by the school. This should happen within two

school weeks of making your payment. Students will be asked to sign for their

guides on receipt of them. Please note that no refunds will be available to any

student who has purchased the incorrect revision guides, so please do check

carefully that the correct guides are ordered. Should you need clarification, please

ask your son/ daughter to ask their subject teacher to confirm which guide they

should purchase, or contact them directly

Collins offer a ‘Parents Evening Service - we are able to offer books at the

reduced ‘schools’ rate for purchase on the Year 10 and Year 11 Progress Evenings

only. Copies of all the recommended Collins guides will be available on sale at a

stall on this evening, at the schools cost identified on the revision guides list.

Please note that we will only be able to accept payment in CASH, so please

ensure that you are able to bring this to the Progress Evening, and if you can bring

the correct money, that would be really helpful.

Of course, you are able to buy these guides direct from Amazon or another online

suppliers, BUT they are likely to be considerably more expensive.

We would strongly encourage students to purchase revision guides as early as possible to

ensure that the greatest benefit is achieved from them.

If you have any questions regarding the purchase of revision guides, please contact Jane

Dyke, School Administration Manager (jdyke@gordanoschool.org.uk).
